How do you boost a excellent veteran squad that have secured consecutive championships, including a league-cup double boasting thirty wins from 32 matches?

Bring in a collection of ex- professionals that have competed at the highest level of club football and global football as you pursue additional silverware.

A Greater Manchester club has an non-professional vets squad with 9 ex- Premier League players in their current squad.

222 Top Division Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Appearances

Wythenshawe Vets Over-35s are located in southern Manchester and play in the Cheshire-based Veterans League Top Division.

Their lineup this season includes 9 ex- Premier League players, with a collective 1,801 top-flight appearances.

This elite roster also boasts over 220 top division goals and over 320 global appearances.

The squad feature one forward, who notched 37 scores in 117 games for Newcastle United after signing for them for nine million pounds from German league club Freiburg in January 2012.

He had his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home match against defending champions their rivals and scored every one of the six scores in a 6-2 victory - featuring a half-hour opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's roster for this season also includes ex- pros such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the ex- Premier League footballers have claimed fifteen big honors and transferred for combined transfer sums of about £123 million.

Household Figures and International Players

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the team in preseason this season through good friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited additional ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side match, to join in.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who netted 12 goals in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and still attends their home games, also made his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen said 'come and have a game, it's good fun'," commented the striker.

"Then he informed me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"If you still love football and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"The spectators who come and see are pleased and to make a moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, Niasse had his first game at full-back.

"That's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I tell my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to keep running.

"That running is what I'm after. It's good fun."

Unreal Experience

In addition to Cisse's six scores on his first game, Ireland has scored eight in three appearances for the side, while Boyd hit 5 on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a hat-trick in one match up front.

The team are leading of the Premier Tier with three wins from 3 and a goal difference of +19.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his young son who Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in more than 200 top-flight games.

"It was spreading like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League players," said Barrow.

"I felt I was a little starstruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.

"Also Heskey got on and he's got 60-odd England appearances.

"Our side held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was tough.

"Our group really have not stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the journey home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a group of regular fellas.

"Now we can't wait for the second fixture."

We Will Still Take the League'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate veterans side, who won the Premier Division championship last season, along with his co-manager.

"We scored one-nil up and had a
